Hey guys, long time lurker here but first time posting. I recently bought a 1990 GT with somewhat unknown milage (carfax and rolled-over odometer leads me to believe the milage is around 210k). Not gonna lie, its a piece of junk in its current state, but I got it for fairly cheap and really just wanted a 5.0 I could wrench on and learn the basics while building something fun for next summer. Besides checking the compression of the cylinders, checking for leaks from various gaskets, and the basic fluid flushes, what else should I be looking for when dealing with such a high milage engine? Sorry if the question is too vague, anything will help really as I know I have lots to learn.

If it has compression and isn't puking fluids I would say fire it up and see what happens. Post up some pics and start a post in the foxbody forum.
